Shortly before his Sharon Best persona vanished, Shadar had begun work on a new serial called Ordinary Velorians. Only four episodes appeared before the old Aurora Universe site was taken down, but they represented some of the best Sharon Best writing ever.
Shadar allowed that Ordinary Velorians was the one Generation 3 story he had longed to see completed, and it since has been, with new chapters by myself,
You'll find the complete serial here, and there are is a character profiles link at the beginning of the first episode. But the story doesn't end there. Even before I finished the serial, Shadar and I had been collaborating on sequels -- "Alisa's Story" and Shore Leave -- and another story of mine, "Pictures of an Expedition," is a sequel to the latter. Just before the demise of the old AU, I had also taken over the conception Kelsor 7, a world of scientists which -- with Ordinary Velorians protagonist Aliza-zar Kim-Vallara -- figures in "Throne of the Gods."
Kelsor 7 had been named by Shadar, but it had been just a name to him. It had been understood that when he got to the point of telling Alisa's story, he would be able to make use of the same design. With the help of Tarot Barnes, I came up with a background for Kelsor itself, and as I continued working with Shadar after his return, I also worked out a timeline for the Ordinary Velorians saga and related stories.
The story cycle has grown in unexpected directions since then, with Shadar contributing related stories such as McCloud's Daughters and Corrididor; and Andy (formerly Leaflblade) later weighing in with his Diaboli crossover, Finding Sanctuary, and a Diaboli history to go with it (You'll find related links at Other Voices as well as the main page of About the Aurora Universe.).
Who knows where it will all go from here? Stay tuned!
